We provide 4 account sizes. 50K, 100K, 200K and 500K. Simply select the evaluation you'd like to take and proceed to check-out. All information about our evaluations can be found within this FAQ section. You can also scale your account all the way up to $5,000,000.00

When it comes to trading, experience is extremely subjective. What's important is being confident and having a proper trading plan that works. Our Evaluation is to see if that is exactly what you have. Regardless, we welcome everyone and give everyone an equal opportunity to become a proprietary trader with us.

Congratulations, you're on your way to being one of our Proprietary Traders. Your Evaluation will be processed within 24 business hours and you will receive your credentials via the email associated with your PayPal account. Please note, if you have not received your credentials within 24 business hours, you must check your spam folder of your email as it will be there. Once your first trade has been placed, your evaluation will begin.

All credentials are processed and sent within 24 business hours. If you still have not received your credentials, you are likely checking the wrong email. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER AS WELL.

Your Evaluation begins the moment you place your first trade. This means you can start when convenient for you. You have 3 months (90 days) to place a trade before your evaluation is forfeited.

You can take as many Evaluations as you like and also multiple at a time, all the way up to $5,000,000. If you are a business, we have other options available. Please email support@thetradingcapital.com if you have questions.

During Phase 1, all evaluations have a Profit Target of 8%. During Phase 2, all evaluations have a Profit Target of 5%. There is no profit target once you receive our Prop Trader account.

During Phase 1, the Maximum Drawdown is 12% and the Maximum Daily Loss is 6%. During Phase 2, the Maximum Drawdown is 10% and the Maximum Daily Loss is 5%. On the Prop Trader account, the Maximum Drawdown is 10% and the Maximum Daily Loss is 5%. All drawdown/maximum loss limits are based on the original balance of your account. Overall, we made the evaluation easier to pass and is the most competetive out of all the proprietary trading firms. Be sure to be aware of the 24-hour daily reset. This applies every 24-hour period starting from 12:00 AM EST (Toronto). Each 24 hour period begins/ends at 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (Toronto). Please determine your time zone difference correctly.

The Maximum Daily Loss is calculated based on your current balance upon the daily reset. During Phase 1, you cannot lose more than 6% of the original base capital in a 24 hour period, which resets at 00:00 EST Toronto Time (07:00 broker time). If your equity falls by this amount or more in the same 24 hour period, you will violate the daily loss. The open/floating drawdown you currently have (if any), will carry-over to the next 24 hour period if you do not close those trades and will count towards your current daily loss. This includes the carry-over from Friday 5:00 PM EST to Sunday 5:00 PM EST. As the market closes on Friday at 5:00 PM EST, there is no daily reset over the weekend. When the market opens on Sunday at 5:00 PM EST, the daily reset will not occur until 7 hours later, at 00:00 EST Toronto Time on Monday. For example, if you have a $100,000 Evaluation, that means your maximum daily loss is $6,000. If upon the daily reset, your current balance is $100,000 and your current floating drawdown is -$5,000, and then you carry that drawdown into the next 24 hour cycle, that means that you still can only afford to lose $1,000 more or else it will count as a violation. However, If you were to close those trades, resulting in a -$5,000 loss before the next daily cycle, you would then go into the new day with no drawdown. You can now afford to lose up to another $6,000 on that new day.

If any of the following items below occur on your account, it is considered a violation and your account will be terminated (Evaluation and Prop Trader): 1. Exceeding the Maximum Loss 2. Exceeding the Maximum Daily Loss 3. Trading any of the restricted symbols 4. Retail Arbitrage/Manipulation 5. Trades that are open less than 60 seconds (this is not a violation, but profits will not count towards your balance/equity) 6. Carry Trading/Swap/Broker Manipulation & Other forms of taking advantage of demo conditions.

Evaluations have 2 Phases Phase 1 has an unlimited trading period. Phase 2 has an unlimited trading period. If both phases are completed successfully and all parameters are met, you will be become one of our prop traders.

Yes, you can use any strategy, however in order to protect our capital, we must diversify our risk. A single strategy cannot be used beyond $5,000,000 in capital. If you have a strategy that exceeds $5,000,000 in capital across our platform, you will need to revise or change your strategy. In addition, trades that are open less than 60 seconds will not count towards your balance/equity.

Yes, you can. In fact, you can use EA's after your evaluation as well once you receive our Prop Trader accounts. As long as you manage risk properly, are successful and the results reflect real market conditions, you can use EA's.

Absolutely. We know some traders take positions on larger time frames and require their trades to be held over a period of time. We respect and support that. However, please be aware of gaps in the market. If trading parameters are violated due to this, it will count as a violation.

The short answer is no. We used to provide 1 free retry if your balance was neutral and positive, but now that we have made things even better for our traders and have an unlimited trading period, this removes the need for a free retry. You have all the time in the world to reach your profit target. If you are below your original account balance/equity, you wouldn't have been eligible for a free retry anyways.

We do not offer resets for violations. We have made our Evaluation more than fair with a lot of breathing room. If you fail to meet parameters you will need to retake the Evaluation.
